similar to: [PATCH net-next v1 0/5] virtio: support packed ring

Hello everyone, This RFC implements packed ring support in virtio driver. Some simple functional tests have been done with Jason's packed ring implementation in vhost (RFC v4): https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/16/501 Both of ping and netperf worked as expected w/ EVENT_IDX disabled. Ping worked as expected w/ EVENT_IDX enabled, but netperf didn't (A hack has been added in the driver to

But there are below known issues: 1. Reloading the guest driver will break the Tx/Rx; 2. Zeroing the flags when

Hello everyone, This RFC implements packed ring support for virtio driver. The code was tested with DPDK vhost (testpmd/vhost-PMD) implemented by Jens at http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2018-January/089417.html Minor changes are needed for the vhost code, e.g. to kick the guest. TODO: - Refinements and bug fixes; - Split into small patches; - Test indirect descriptor support; - Test/fix event

Hello everyone, This RFC implements a subset of packed ring which is described at https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-docs/blob/master/virtio-v1.1-packed-wd08.pdf The code was tested with DPDK vhost (testpmd/vhost-PMD) implemented by Jens at http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2018-January/089417.html Minor changes are needed for the vhost code, e.g. to kick the guest.

Hi, This patch set implements packed ring support in virtio driver. A performance test between pktgen (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh) and DPDK vhost (testpmd/rxonly/vhost-PMD) has been done, I saw ~30% performance gain in packed ring in this case. To make this patch set work with below patch set for vhost, some hacks are needed to set the _F_NEXT flag in indirect descriptors (this should
